17 Hmmmm (2/2)
However—
[The Blessed Necklace has purified the curse 'Affliction.]
[You have resisted.]
Sky sighed in relief when the [Blessed Necklace] activated. Unless he used all the [Intermediate Potions] that he had, he would've died in less than 10 seconds due to the DoT.
He then jumped away from the Demon Spawn and focused.
”Oh? The skill didn't affect you?” Spectre's blurry figure suddenly appeared and asked curiously when he saw the skull mark that was above Sky's head, disappear.
”I have an item that gives me a certain chance to ignore debuffs.” Sky smiled before rushing towards the monster.
Spectre nodded and blended into the darkness once more.
Queen sighed in relief when she saw Sky resist the debuff.
'Fighting a Demon Spawn without him... we would've team-wiped if he died.' as she thought of this, she leaped towards the demon and stabbed towards its head.
Just like this, time passed as the monster's health bar started draining.

”That's the fifth one,” Queen said with a bitter smile. ”Only 95 more to go...”
Hearing her words, the party groaned.
”Ugh, only 95 more...”
”That's a yikes.”
”This quest will take forever!”
”Should we just garrison in a different kingdom...”
Sky looked at them who were all complaining.
However, as they complained, the determination in their eyes didn't waver.
It was clear that they didn't mean what they said.
Sky smiled. He felt good.
”Boss, Imma log out for now. I'm pretty tired, phew.” Kyle groaned as he arched his back exaggeratedly.
”Me too, I'm getting hungry,” said Su Yan as she extended her arms up and stretched body charmingly.
Her features displayed the epitome of oriental beauty.
It was a beautiful sight.
”Pretty... hey!” Kyle whispered in a daze only to be whacked by Su Yan.
”Okay, let's rest,” Queen said. ”That's all for today. Leave a message in the group chat when you're gonna play.”
Although her gorgeous face was expressionless, it still betrayed the hint of exhaustion in her eyes.
She then glanced at Sky. ”Since we're in each other's friend list now, I'll also add you in the group chat.”
The group chat that she talked about was the integrated app within the gaming capsule, which could be accessed in-game and outside the game.
The app allowed one to message, call, or video-call anyone who had the app. Of course, there were also tons of other features that needn't be mentioned.
It was developed by Destiny Group way before the opening of Everlasting World.
Linking the app to the gaming capsule and Everlasting World was a smart idea and made the communication between one another easier.
”See you later, Sky!”
”Cya tom. bro!”
”Nice meeting you!”
”Okay.” Sky nodded his head as he saw them log out, their game avatars blurring before eventually disappearing.
”Now, what should I do about this...” he whispered as he looked at certain notification windows.
[Due to continuous exhausting activities, you are in a state of hunger.]
[Stats have been reduced by 60%.]
[Movement speed has been reduced by 50%.]
[You are hungry.]
[You feel exhausted.]
[Your status might worsen if you do not satiate your hunger.]
”Hmm...”
He looked at his inventory for anything that could remedy the situation, only to find it futile.
”The Intermediate Potion only heals my HP, it doesn't remove any status ailments...”
At that moment, a certain item that he previously found useless caught his eye.
